Reflections about the optimisation of the treatment of tendinopathies with PRP.

BACKGROUND platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infiltration represents a recent therapy for chronic tendinopathies. However, in the literature, this treatment remains controversial. PURPOSE we suggest some ideas for improving this treatment. METHODS these suggestions were based on a review of published studies and our clinical experience. CONCLUSION optimizing the technique for PRP collection is paramount. Different risk factors must be corrected before infiltration and chronic tendinopathies must be carefully selected. Finally, post-infiltration rehabilitation remains absolutely critical. Standardization of the use of PRP remains necessary in order to optimize the results.
